Girls aged 11, 13, 14 detained in San Francisco in series of aggravated assaults
Three young girls, aged 11, 13 and 14, were detained in San Francisco over the weekend as suspects in a series of aggravated assaults, authorities said Monday. The San Francisco Police Department said in a press release Monday that the department is investigating at least five apparent unprovoked attacks involving a group of juveniles with similar suspect descriptions that began earlier this month. The department said multiple units, including plainclothes, investigations, special operations, and patrol, were working to identify the suspects. On Saturday at about 2:54 p.m., officers responded to 4th Street between Mission and Howard Streets in the city's South of Market area on a report of an assault. According to police, two victims reported they were assaulted by several juvenile females who then fled after bystanders stepped in to stop the attack. The victims were treated for injuries that were not life-threatening, police said. Investigators who were aware of the previous incidents were immediately able to access surveillance video of the attack and disseminate images of the suspects to officers on patrol. Plainclothes officers patrolling on the city's west side found a group of girls matching the images of the assault suspects at the Stonestown Galleria, police said. The girls were detained, and through the course of the investigation, officers developed probable cause to arrest two girls, ages 13 and 14. for assault likely to produce great bodily injury, police said. An 11-year-old girl was also detained and admonished, and after consulting with juvenile probation authorities, the officers were advised to release the suspects to their parents at the scene. "Violent attacks like these will never be tolerated, and the SFPD will use all resources available to ensure our city is safe," said Interim Police Chief Paul Yep said in a prepared statement. "I am extremely disappointed in the actions of these individuals, and they will be held accountable." Police said the investigations remain open and active, and anyone with information was asked to contact the SFPD at (415) 575-4444 or send a text to TIP411 and begin the message with "SFPD."

NSW Police gangs boss sends message to wannabe teenage assassins
Superintendent Box says juveniles are willing to take part in serious crime for financial gain. Photo: ABC / Jack Ailwood By Lia Harris , ABC In more than 30 years on the NSW Police force, Detective Superintendent Jason Box has never seen a Sydney gangland war like this one. "I've never seen the willingness of juveniles to participate in such serious crime ... They're actively looking for opportunities to partake in this serious crime for financial gain, so that is concerning," Box said. As the head of Taskforce Falcon, which was formed earlier this year to combat the escalating underworld conflict across Sydney, Box told ABC News his team was working around the clock to end the violence. "This can't continue, people in the community being hurt for no reason, innocent persons being injured or killed, and young juveniles being utilised as pawns in this whole internal conflict," he said. "I hope this ceases sooner than later, and I hope we have an impact and an influence on that." There have been at least 14 suspected gangland shootings and stabbings across Sydney in the past four months, with several innocent people caught in the crossfire. Last month, two masked gunmen stormed an Auburn kebab shop in broad daylight and fired a hail of bullets in an attempt to kill a Sydney underworld figure, hitting and injuring an innocent employee. Taskforce Falcon is also investigating a series of gangland attacks dating back to December last year, including the shooting murder of 31-year-old David Khau at Canley Heights. "It's of great concern ... We've arrested a 15-year-old male who (allegedly) fired over 40 shots into two homes, and in one of those it just missed a sleeping five-year-old by centimetres," Box said. Shootings and a stabbing investigated by NSW Police under Taskforce Falcon. Photo: ABC / NSW police Since the taskforce's inception, more than 80 people have been arrested and more than 200 charges laid. To disrupt the violence, investigators have now carried out more than 2000 "taskings", including intelligence gathering, bail checks, patrolling hotspot areas, searching for suspicious cars and firearms prohibition enforcement checks. They have seized 15 guns and 50 vehicles they believe were staged and ready to be used in violent crimes. "We've recovered firearms, jerry cans, face coverings, locations, maps where offences were going to occur," Superintendent Box said. At least six underage teenagers have so far been charged by the taskforce for their alleged involvement in violent crimes, and police fear more youths are being recruited via encrypted apps and word of mouth. Box said organised crime groups were contracting young, inexperienced street gang members to carry out the attacks to ensure it can't be traced back to them. "They're expendable, these juveniles; the amount that they pay them is minimal compared to what they'd normally pay for these types of acts to be done. In reality, the task for a lot of them is to kill somebody," he said. "You're giving firearms to 14, 15-year-old kids ... so there's always the risk that they're going to panic, they're going to do things wrong. There's always a great concern that there will be error in their judgement." As his detectives work to prevent more attacks, Box had a message for any youths who may be in over their heads. "If they've been involved and have been captured in some type of organised criminal activity and they've realised that it's beyond them, that this is a lot bigger than they thought, the repercussions are enormous, their personal safety and that of their family is at risk, they can come forward and see us ... we'll do what we can to protect them," he said. "Going into custody is one thing, but being held accountable for their actions is something else, and it might not only be the courts, it might be the people that they've tried to harm. "There's a long reach of these people, these organised crime networks in jails and areas of custody, so there's nowhere that they're going to be protected if they're committing offences against these serious criminals; they really need to consider what they're doing." - ABC

Warren County prosecutor outspoken about juvenile crime after Springboro auto thefts
Jul. 12—Following two attempted vehicle thefts from Springboro neighborhoods this week by teenagers, Warren County's prosecutor was outspoken about what he called a lack of criminal justice against juveniles. "From my perspective, this is the No. 1 criminal justice issue that currently exists in our county: Out-of-county juveniles stealing vehicles from ordinarily nice, safe neighborhoods in Lebanon, Mason, Springboro, everywhere," said Warren County Prosecutor David Fornshell on his Facebook page. "Why juveniles? Because they know they will be treated less harshly because they are juveniles." Springboro police investigated attempted auto thefts on Wednesday and Thursday from the Settlers Walk neighborhood. "During the last two nights, our officers have successfully intercepted vehicle thefts in progress in two of our neighborhoods," according to a Facebook post by Springboro police. "On July 9, midnight shift officers found subjects in a fresh stolen vehicle driving through a neighborhood as they looked to commit further crimes. That vehicle fled and was briefly pursued into Miami Twp. where officers terminated the pursuit. This certainly prevented another car being taken from our city that evening." And then on Thursday, Springboro police in the Settlers Walk area around 3:07 a.m. said they found a suspicious vehicle driving through the neighborhood and when attempting to stop the vehicle, it fled and led to a pursuit into Dayton. Police said the occupants eventually fled the vehicle on foot and two juvenile suspects were apprehended with the assistance of the Dayton Police Department. This vehicle was later found to had just been stolen from Settlers Walk, according to police. Both juvenile suspects were arrested and booked into the Warren County Juvenile Detention Center. Fornshell said the prosecutor's office needs support. "Police departments and prosecutor's offices can only do so much. We need the support of everyone, including all of our legislators in Columbus and all of our juvenile court judges in the state, to hold juveniles accountable for their actions and not minimize the conduct because they happen to be underage," Fornshell said. "We know from experience that failing to hold people to account when they are younger yields worse conduct and more harm to society once they reach adulthood." Springboro police asked homeowners to check their home security cameras overnight and to contact them if individuals have any video regarding the suspects. "This is a reminder that our officers will continue to make every effort to prevent/apprehend the individuals that decide to come into our city and steal cars,"" police said. "We also remind our citizens to always lock your vehicle's doors and please do not leave any valuables or keys/key fobs in the car. As always, if you see anything suspicious, do not hesitate to report it immediately." r.
